About
Dr. Masaaki Asamoto is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of urologic surgery and ophthalmology, whose work has redefined perioperative safety for patients with pre-existing ocular conditions. His most influential study, a prospective clinical evaluation of visual function during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, demonstrated that steep Trendelenburg positioning significantly elevates intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma and other ocular diseases. This landmark 2020 paper, cited 4 times, established critical guidelines for surgical positioning and preoperative screening, directly preventing vision-threatening complications in high-risk populations. Dr. Asamoto’s contributions bridge two specialties, offering evidence-based protocols that protect vulnerable patients undergoing minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. His work underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in modern surgical care, ensuring that advances in robotic techniques do not compromise patient safety. By identifying modifiable risk factors and advocating for tailored intraoperative management, Dr. Asamoto has become a key voice in perioperative medicine, influencing both urologic and ophthalmic clinical practice.
